Marry The Game

Awkward run-ins

"Oh you are so funny, ha ha." I snapped smugly watching Reggie attempt to imitate me.

"You really look like that though highkey." he joked further pulling me into his chest. He and I, as you can imagine, had gotten super close. We had an instant connection when we met and it had only grown stronger. I liked that I had my own life, and he has his and we came together and made it work. We weren't together, we hadn't had sex, we had barely even kissed, but we had an understanding and I was not trying to be in anything at this point. I wanted to concentrate on my career and my kids, being single was the best way to do that.

"You think i'm funny for real. You know what they say about men who can make you laugh..." he started and I moved out of his grip.

"What they say?" I asked, knowing the answer and had already started laughing before he spoke again.

"Laugh your panties right off" He finished and I was honestly half bent over laughing.

"Well you must be doing it wrong because you been cracking me up for six months and these feet have been firmly placed on the ground baby." I finished and he went to tickle me again.

"See how the country in you poppin out? They half way off." He said again and I couldn't stop the laugh that left my lips again before I hit his chest, this time he grabbed on to my hand and held be to me.

"What you trying to do?" I said looking into his eyes and just like any other time we got this close the tension rose in the room.

"You know where i'm at with it K. I'll take you right here." He said coming up to my face and I let him move in till I knew he was in my court then stuck my tongue out.

"Got cho ass!" I screamed pulling his hat on to my head and before I knew it he was chasing me around the island.

"Nah bring that ass over here!" He shouted and i ran around in a fit of laughter.

"Yooo..." We both heard from behind us and like two kids we snapped our heads back and he moved behind me quickly.

"Oh hey Chris... I wasn't expecting you till later?" How the hell did he get in here. That Damn Ms Rosa just gone keep letting this man in my house all willy nilly. Chris stood in front of us and I could feel the animosity in the room build as he stood leaned against the door frame. It was honestly so awkward I couldn't help it when I started laughing and he turned his face up. I was legit laughing for a good 20 seconds before Reggie sucked his teeth and nudged me in my side.

"My bad man, I was just leaving." Reggie spoke up moving from behind me and I turned back seeing him pulling his jacket on and awkwardly handed his hat over.

"I'll see you later?" I asked and he gave me a death glare which only made me want to laugh because I knew he was holding one in.

"I'll call you." He said back and I watched Chris size him up as he slid right past him and disappeared into the corridor Chris had walked up in minutes before.

"Sorry, you caught me off guard." I said when Chris looked back up at me and he shrugged.

"It's all good. I called and text you to say I was coming earlier, but you was busy I guess." He said clearly bothered, but trying to hide it and I nodded slowly.

"My phone was on silent." I said lifting it off the couch and saw he had in fact called and text me multiple times.

"About that. There's nothing going on between me and R-" I started and he lifted a hand to cut me off.

"Can you get the kids ready?" He threw and for a second I wanted to catch an attitude, but he seemed too annoyed to even hear me out and I wanted to take the moment to pull him up on coming over early, but he had attempted to let me know, so I was beat for reasons to get on him.

"I will, but you can let me finish talking, please." I asked more than stated and he stood with his hands balled up together in front of me before shrugging to let me know he was listening.

"I know you must have heard the conversation and obviously it's weird seeing another man in the house, but honestly there's nothing romantically going on between me and Reggie, he's my friend for real." I finished and I watched him slant on to the door again and shook his head.

"Kam I'm not mad, and I don't feel no kind of way. You happy, my kids happy, i'm good. It's not my business no more. I'll stay out of it." He responded and I couldn't honestly get past this new surface level way he was treating me.

"You just came in here last month telling me you had a girlfriend and that you "thought I should know", now we not in each others business?" I questioned using my fingers for effect and turned my face up at him.

"I told you because I'm really dating someone and it's high profile, that was out of curtesy, not to spare or hurt your feelings like you're trying to do now." He said just as calm, cool and collected as before.

"Hurt your feelings?! I didn't even know you would be here, I just wanted to give you context because you obviously walked in on something and it really ain't even that." I fought back trying to make him see my point, but he cleary was committed to making me the bad guy.

"That's the same nigga you was messin with months ago, same nigga your "friendship" had us at odds about and I come in here and he got you against the counter, same counter I fucked you on countless times, talking bout he can take you right here, while my kids in the house and you want to tell me about some friendship?" He spoke coming closer to my face.

"Keep playing with me if you want to." He said lifting his finger up to my face and I was so triggered by now my only defence was to smack his hand out my face, and when I pushed into his chest he let his body move back slightly, clearly realising he'd gotten me where he wanted me.

Chris and I hadn't fought like this in a long time and I didn't even realise i had so much pent up animosity towards him. We'd barely seen or spoken to eachother for more than 5 minutes over the last 6 months and it clearly had, me at least, reverting back to old toxic ways of dealing with him.

"Don't come in my house and ever think you can talk to me like i'm your child. I'm not your property Chris. You fucked me on the counter? nigga I knocked your lights out each and every time so let's not." I snapped back and he chuckled.

"Yeah well dream about it because you'll never have this dick again." He said clearly pissed and by now I was literally wet enough to fill a tank and I could see the thirst in his eyes too, and even with his hand pressed over his member he could never hide his excitement.

"Mr Chris, the children are ready." Rosa said coming in with her usual burst of energy and broke his and I's stare down.

"Alright I'll be right up Rosa." He said still staring me down and I watched him follow behind her up the stairs, not before he flipped me the bird though.

What an asshole.
